I think it's both.

What I was unclear about is that our best method for fighting the current system is to convince a significant portion of the electorate to vote for a third party candidate.

Because we all know the system is against us, we are afraid to work together to circumvent it.

We can't replace the system until we use our votes to do so.



A third party is always a spoiler in the current electoral system. We can only fix the problem by using the current system or exploiting it to apply the agenda.

We need main 2-party candidates like Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders (who understood that running as an Independent is mathematically impossible in any meaningful election so switched their party affiliations).
